Hi Leabank Square

I also live locally and I find this Community Hall very cold and unwelcoming.

I will be coming to the AGM, but really only to see for myself why it is in such a state! Is this the only Community Hall that we have locally, or is there a more friendly and inviting place for us local residents to meet?

How are you connected to the centre? I somehow don't feel that you're part of this rude lot!

On the day of the Hackney Wick Festival, I was told that the centre was opening it's toilets for the public, and so when Keesha (my youngest) was desperate after bouncing on your free bouncy castle, I made my way there.

At the door, I was asked what I wanted in quite a rude way, by the manager. I explained that my daughter needed the loo, but I was ushered out the door.

Thankfully one of the bus drivers at the number 30 depot saw this on his way to clock in, and said I could use their loo.

I feel like bringing this up at the AGM, but I don't want to be treated like that again, so I probabaly won't end up going.

Please see if you can find out if this was a one-off, or maybe he just didn't like me!

Welcome!!

We all love Leabank Square - and want to see our lives here improve day by day.

By contributing to this blog we will all feel as if we have a say in how we want our square to be.

Of course we could all use it as a whinge blog to whine on about the rubbish collections or cars parked on the sidewalk at the entrance -

BUT

- how about we all use it to make our lives a lot more positive?!

How about we all use it to organise litter pick-up days, or comunal barbeques in the middle of the square, or meetings to get the management company to change something?

Anything!!
